How to meaningfully discuss meaningful change with children: Qualitative approaches
The FDA is increasingly interested in patient perspectives of what level of change is important to support traditional quantitative methods of evaluating meaningful change and deriving thresholds. This has led to the emergent of qualitative methodologies to explore changes experienced by patients and the meaning of changes. In pediatric populations this throws up additional challenges: who is the best reporter? How to discuss in a way that children can understand the topic?
The third session of the 2022 Measuring What Matters Symposium will provide case-studies of different qualitative methodologies for capturing and contextualizing changes experienced within clinical trials. Learnings will be shared and illustrative examples presented.
